1. Lincoln's biography
Lincoln was born Feb 12, 1809 in one room log cabin in Kentucky. He attend school in log cabin for few months. He reads the fireplace and learns a lot.
In November 6, 1860 he is elected 16th U.S. President. On april 12, 1861 war began between North and South, called the Civil War. Lincoln was successgal helping end the Civil War between the North and South become united again.


2. Conflict in Lincoln's life
Lincoln and his family moved to Kentucky and his grandfather was killed by Native Americans.
Lincoln had 4 sons in 1850, his son, Edward Baker Lincoln died affcer brief illness.
Son Willie dies at age 11.
Lincoln becomes President in 1860 and the South secedes from the Union leading to the Civil War in 1865 Lincoln shot the Ford Theatre during his Presidincy.


3. Lincoln was an important influence on African Americans
On August 6, 1861, Abraham signed a law freeing slaves used the Confederates in the Civil War. On June 19, 1862 Lincoln made a law prohibiting slavery in the south. On January 1, 1863 President Lincoln makes Emancipation Proclamation speech freeing all slaves in the south. On August 10, 1863 President Lincoln met with abolitionist Frederick Douglas to support equality for the Black troops. Lincoln's efforts before he diied lead to the ratification of the 13th Amendment to abolish slavery in 1865.


4. Meorable part of Lincoln's life
Lincoln received a letter from a girl in asking him to grow a beard. He answered the letter and decided to grow beard. He sends lpicture of himself in beard to the girl. He met with the girl in person with a beard and thanked her for her idea. Lincoln looks good in his beard and becomes famous. We remember Lincoln with a beard.


5.
I think Lincoln was good President because he freed the slaves. I also think Lincoln was great because he united the states and gave the freedom we have today.
